"How many big parties in 1982 at nice house in Maryland ONLY HAVE FOUR BOYS AT THE WHOLE PARTY??!? AND HOW COME THE OTHER TWO BOYS WEREN'T AWARE OF THE ACTIVITIES???!??"

That's the trap you are falling into. You are predicating your defense on the claim that party never happened - the whole thing being a lie. But right now, the media is asking every single person who went to that school about this party. If you find one of the other two people, and they can confirm that the party happened, then Kavanaugh is dead. Even though that party happening doesn't mean anything bad happened at the party.

Incorrect. I am noting that the therapist notes stipulate 4 boys involved, but she explained that away by claiming she said only 4 boys AT THE WHOLE PARTY... and 2 in the bedroom.

I am suggesting it is unreasonable to think a big party has only 4 boys, thus, her statement now is in direct conflict with her statement then.

THAT is my point.

They can ask all they want. It does not mean that the answers are factual. You can be sure the more people they ask the more people will remember being there. The power of suggestion is very strong.

How the questions are worded have great bearing on the response. People want to give the “right” answer and earn approval from the questioner. Often they do not realize they are lead into giving the answer desired. Think, “Do you remember going to a party where Brett Kavanaugh was present?” vs. “Many of those we contacted remember a party where a sexual assault took place. They say that Brett Kavanaugh was probably there. Does that seem correct to you”? The first requires a simple yes or no. The second requires you accepting a scenario in your mind and deciding if it is plausible.

It is worded so you put together the two allegations; the sexual assault and Kavanaugh probably being there. Once that happens the questions will assume Kavanaugh committed the assault. This is not done by chance. In very little time the person being questioned will remember knowing about the assault. And that’s that.

Now a deposition would be another matter.
